LANSING, MARCH, - 1887.
The house has resumed its morning
sessions, which were discontinued a
short time since to permit of more
time forcommittec work, and it is
likely the grist will be poured into
the legislative hopper steadily and
necessarily for some time to come.
1t is possible, moreover, that the
Saturday adjournments will soon be
dispensed with, as the RAILROADS have
notified the Perianders that their
passes will be recalled early in April,
and they will probably find work
preferable to lounging about or to
paying their fares to and from their
homes. The abolition of the pass
system, while it may be inconvenlent
to members who like to spend Sun
day at home and those who are on
visiting committees to public institu-
tons, will most aSsuredly save money
to the people of Michigan.
~
Thursday, the 18th, being ~. Fat
rick's day, very little business was
transacted in the house. The mem
bers went into the committee of the
whole with Patrick Stuart, of Wayne,
in the chair, and thrilling oratory,
music by minstrel band, and the
relation of incidents and traditions
bearing upon the life Of the patron
saint of the Emerald Isle, were the
order of the day. The narrative of
the British lion was twisted without
ruth or conjunction by the adoption
of a resolution favoring home rule
for Ireland and commencing the eff
forts of Gladstone and Parnell.
~
The bill relating to graveyard and
speculative insurance, TO which | re-
ferred last week, has been engaging
a good part of the attention of the
house for almost fortnight, the re-
snlt being the appointment of an IN.
vestlgatng committee consisting OF
Senators Westgatc and German and
Representative Cross, Goodrich and
Douglass. About all the representa-
tives who had any eloquence with
them took part in the debate on the
concurrent resolution, and some of
the best speeches of the session were
made The resolution was first voted
down, but Mr.. Cross, the concoctor
of the bill, aimed against these inSti-
tutions, moved a reconsideration.
Then occurred the browning scnsa-
ton of the debate. Speaker Markey
called Mr. Bates to the chair, came
off the perch, and stepping to the
floor delivered an address in favor of
the passage of the resolution that
proved him to be the leader of that
body in every sense of the word. His
arguments were not without effect,
for the resolution, after being amend.
ed to include any life insurance com
pany, passed by vote of 62 to 3. A
strong lobby endeavored to impede
the passage of the resolution.

MIDDLINGS.
A Substance Containing the Nost Nutri-
tlous Parts OF Wheat.


Ii is said that bran contains most Of
the nitrogen of the wheat. That is,
the bran TO which we were accustomed
before the new roller process of mill
ings played the mischief with both the
flour and the bran IL is now COM
planned that the flour made by the new
process is less nutritious because the
best part of it except the starch is taken
out of it, and that the bran is less nu-
tritous than it was formerly because it
is now deprived of its better part. IL
the flour and the bran have both lost
feeding value by the new process where
have the best part of the grain-the
fat, the nitrogen and the phosphates-
gomez 1t is clear they must be in the
coarse grades of middlings made by
this process, and it is probable that
this is tho case because the most nutri-
tious part of the grain is contained in
the inner layers of the husk, under the
outer covering, which is the bran, and
over the kernel, which contains tho
starch. The bran Is secured clean OF
all the inner coat, and the flour is sift-
ed free from IL, so that il necessarily
remains in the middlings. That the
middlings contain the most nutritious
part of the grain is evident from az
analysis, which shows that they con-
tain more fat and protein than bran,
and shorts are richer in these ele-
mcnts than the middlings. - ~ Y.
